The owner of the house was quite hospitable: in the evening we treated him to tea, and he us in the morning - a couple of fresh pike-perches :)

If it had not been for the snow that had passed the day before - the solonchak would have been generally white because of the bright moon, and so the soil was slightly moist and retained its structure.

P.S. Well, if you think that the stars are in the sky - you are mistaken: they are the souls of the Alakol killing of mosquitoes, who in the evening imposed their company on us :)
